Stain Defence was a company he started, rehabbing houses for 2 years. After his health began to decline, Pete retired to a life of relaxing at the lake house.

He is preceded in death by his mother Trina Ontiveros Yeargain on July 22nd, 2000 and his brother Dwane "Pancho" Yeargain on October 14th, 2002. What a wonderful reunion they are having! He loved many things including, his family, Fritos heavily dipped in mustard, homegrown tomatoes, his truck, way too many athletic shoes, reading and watching sermons on his phone, hanging Christmas lights EVERYWHERE, drinking beer with Papa, playing with pocket knives (a couple of times needing stitches, but never did), flashlights of any size, shape or strength, only to blind you with them, sunsets, working out at the gym and then sitting in the sauna sharing Jesus to the guys, answering his phone saying "psych unit", videoing family events, volleyball, his friends, Daisy and Maggie (family dogs), whistling, but mostly loving others with a warm hug and smile. Pete Miller, we miss you and we thank you for our lives being intertwined together. We will continue to walk with our Lord so we can see you again. We love you and your response would always be "I Love You More!"
